It works like this. There's an extra button on the UI: "Make Schematic."
You an press it anytime after you've madeone or morechanges to someone's image, and a schematic is automatically given to the person being Image Designed. Inserting this Schematic into one of the Image Design Terminals in the tent forces a wait for all the timers, and grants10%Use XP to the Image Designer who crafted the schematic. The schematic would be consumed in the process, of course.
The Dev's could also require that we have a supply of resources of some type on hand to craft the Schematics, causing us to feed from the economy. It would also justify us in charging for changes, since they cost us resources. And this change would not preclude use from designing the way we do now, and itgives Novice ID's a way to skill up more quickly, without allowing them to AFK the changes.

You know... I really like the idea, too bad anything that I like never happens or gets nerfed

Using items AFK [on a target] is unforunately possible, however . Also, it may well bring back the old grind method of just not actually changing anything.
I like the idea though, but not too sure as to the net effect. When you make a change, the receiptent gets a schematic, which they can then drop in an ID terminal to reduce/remove the timer?
Or if you meant that the person had an item with their desired changes on them, and just takes it to an ID Terminal to be processed and changed?
If the later, fair chance of a big no since that idea has come up before and the response is just that the Full Appearance data for a player takes up too much space in the database to be turned into items as that [which I don't really agree with either seeing BE pets, but oh well].

You posted in the Image Designer forum, the entire thread got splatted. We're not too well liked, for a variety of reasons right now :x.

Misdirected rage... it's a terrible thing.
I wish people would understand that I don't like this whole enforced 'Stat Migration' thing either?
I have seen people say "I like the timers!" But I've yet to see any ID say "I love being the only source of a frustration causing 10 minute wait."

There are a few.
I understand why they did it this way. Just really don't like the timing of the matter. It would have been better off if such a change/addition was bundled in some really Major patch, like the upcoming Combat Rebalance, which is supposed to give 'everyone' some role in the GCW, or at launch of course.
Of course, understanding, and liking are two different things.
